how can I do my christmas shopping when the NBN's not working?
i've been waiting for faster connection
apparently that's how we do it if we are generation y
instead of walking around the aisles
N-B-N
when will the struggle for faster connection end
N-B-N
i've been waiting for forever for you 2 b here
Jeremy from the NBN came over and tried to fix our terrible connection
and he said "see you in the paddock if you're a doofer!"
i don't quite know what that has to do with our internet
that's the benefit of being with TPG
you get customer service bizarre and often charming
N-B-N
when will the struggle for faster connection end
N-B-N
i could've sworn that after all this time we would be friends
N-B-N
it seems like after all we should've gone with Labor's plan

this next one goes out to all the lovers
and those who participate in casual friday
we respect you
blue christmas at the pool
swimming around to stay cool
you're there with your friends
it's not at all bad
but you miss your mum and dad
and your brother
hey paddy, I love you
I don't wanna be alone this christmas
yeah I don't wanna spend the day without you
i'm not as independent as I thought I was
cause I miss my family and my family dog
when you were a bratty teenager you were intrigued by the concept of an orphan christmas
but now that's not on your wish list
you love your friends a lot but your family's better
ever since you moved to melbourne you're a trendsetter
I don't wanna be alone this christmas
yeah I don't wanna spend the day without you
john, tim, jenny, mary, maudy, susie, gerry, cate
let's all celebrate
i don't wanna spend the day without you
i'm not as independent as I thought I was
cause I miss my family and my family dog
i miss thunderstorms and being at the beach
and eating tropical fruits like peach
my dog parks at the postman all day
our neighbours don't mind cause she's not a stray
that's pretty classist if you ask me
especially at christmassssss

christmas crush
i'll see you ever year without fail
my christmas crush
it seems you like to show up without an invitation
it's quite inconvenient and infuriating at the best of times
christmas crush won't you come
and meet all of my extended family
we have got traditions like
arriving late, playing in the sprinklers
won't you be my baby
we can sit under the tree
football
ποδόσφαιρο
cheesecake
τσεισκέικ
vegan
χορτοφάγος
in northcote
στο northcote
καλά Χριστούγεννα (merry christmas)
christmas crackers are made for two
so i guess it's convenient that I like you
we can get a photo with santa for the fridge
have potato salad and bannoffee pie
i like giving gifts to people who are special
and i'm convinced i don't just like you cause it's christmas
alright it's fair, it's definitely like you and it's christmas
i wanna hold your hand in k-mart and it's christmas

do you think it's called ex-mas
cause that's when you're likely to make bad decisions
concerning your ex love from many years ago
do you think it's called ex-mas
cause that's when you're feeling miserable, hungover
from too many days of kicking 'round brisbane wondering who to call
cause you need affection
it's a shame we aren't on good terms
cause i had a lot of fun with you
0 - 100 is the only thing we knew
do you think it's called ex-mas
cause you're feeling nostalgic and full of love
for someone who you hadn't thought about in quite a while
you imagined you together
sitting 'neath some fig tree on the river
exchanging gifts and laughing about past arguments you had over the phone
christmas is funny like thast
you tend to forgive, forget
but it's the last part
I don't wanna do just yet
we aren't on good terms
feelings never lie
if we'd got married
we would drive each other mad
